Candidates must demonstrate the promise of distinguished legal scholarship and have the ability to develop and teach a graduate level course or seminar in an appropriate subject matter. The successful applicant will teach one one-quarter course or seminar each year and will be expected to publish original scholarship and contribute to the intellectual life of the Law School. Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of grades, publications, recommendations and experience. In assessing potential contributions to the life of the Law School, we value candidates who will contribute diverse backgrounds and perspectives that will enrich and improve student experiences and the Law School's intellectual culture.

A J.D. is required, though in unusual cases a candidate who has completed a doctoral degree in a related/complimentary discipline or holds a law degree and is completing a Ph.D. will be considered.
